From November 22, 1999 through January 4, 2000, I ran a Christmas poll. The question was simple: are you asking for a Dreamcast for Christmas this year, and if not, why? I felt certain this poll would indicate that the best way Sega could drive Dreamcast sales would be to release a new Phantasy Star game for it, and the final poll results proved I was correct.

Yes.

From July 24 through September 19, 1999, this site ran its biggest poll yet. It was a standard "What is your favorite Phantasy Star game?" poll, but I dare say it was the largest of its kind taken yet in Phantasy Star fandom.

Those polled were asked to name their first, second, and third favorite Phantasy Star games. After polling was completed, the votes were then tabulated, and each game was given three points for every first-place vote it received, two points for every second-place vote, and one point for every third-place vote.

Here are the final results of the poll, along with the vote totals.

Phantasy Star IV

197

36 first place votes, 34 second place votes, 21 third place votes.

Phantasy Star II

180

31 first place votes, 32 second place votes, 23 third place votes.

Phantasy Star I

147

27 first place votes, 19 second place votes, 28 third place votes.

Phantasy Star III

100

11 first place votes, 19 second place votes, 29 third place votes.

Phantasy Star Gaiden

0 first place votes, 2 second place votes, 3 third place votes.

PSII Telemodem Games

0 first place votes, 0 second place votes, 1 third place vote.

Phantasy Star Adventure

0 first place votes, 0 second place votes, 0 third place votes.
